Chris Farina/Top Rank[/caption]Pacquiao ((56-5-2, 38 KO's) will defend his WBO welterweight title against Algieri (20-0, 8 KO's). Pacquiao regain the title back from another American in Timothy Bradley in a rematch in April. Bradley took the title back in 2012 in one of the most controversial decision in boxing.
Algieri, who arrived a day earlier than Pacquiao, did a two-hour light training according to a report from Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN.
If Algieri arrived in a smaller group, with his trainer Tim Lane, Pacquiao, as usual, arrived with a huge entourage. The Filipino fighting congressman came with a group of 380 people.
"Pacquiao had so many people in his group that he needed two planes to bring them all", writes Dan Rafael on his blog at ESPN.com
